Yacine slams Opus 5.5: 'RL-maxed' model can't write good code without hand-holding
yacineMTB · x · 2026-10-31
Prominent AI personality yacineMTB launched a scathing take on Opus 5.5, calling it nowhere near as smart as he is — "RL maxed dogshit" that can't write good code unless you have neovim open and explicitly specify every code change. He added that anyone with a different experience "is a bad programmer," quoting a post by jayair. A spicy, combative take in the ongoing AI coding-tools debate.
